**** Recommended ****  How the Hell Did I Get Here? is a charming autobiographical musical starring Lesley Nicol, a British actress whose most famous part here in America, at least, was that of Mrs. Padmore in Downton Abbey.  Nicol uses a light-hearted approach to sharing her life story using songs, pictures and anecdotes.  How the Hell Did I Get Here? isn’t ‘rocket science’ as far as musicals go, but it was definitely entertaining.  3 ½ Spotlights

**** Recommended **** Over the years, I think I’ve heard entirely too many motivational speakers.  None of them ever seem to get where I am or what I’m feeling.  Curiously, this Man (Jim Ortlieb) in the American Blues Theater production of "Stand Up If You’re Here Tonight" seemed to understand exactly how long it had been since any of us felt connected.  John Kolvenbach has written a brilliant script, incorporating the angst of the past two years in among the motivational clichés.  Ortlieb, who can play almost any part and give it credibility, made it look easy as he convinced the opening night audience (full of critics – skeptics all) to read from a paper, clap, sigh, hum, or stand on cue.  Amazing!  4 Spotlights

On March 23, 2022, just before midnight, Indiana State Police, Fountain County Sheriff's Department, and Covington Police Department responded to a fatal crash on Interstate 74 near the 8 mile marker.
